Here’s how some leading medical societies are collaborating for the advancement of science and clinical practice Although their specific objectives may vary, societies typically share the same core objectives to advance science, drive innovation, connect their communities, build strategic partnerships, and be a trusted voice and source of knowledge in their domain. Often, they work independently on their missions, focusing on their own unique goals and member communities.

Preprints, or research papers that have not yet been peer reviewed, have gained increasing prominence in scholarly publishing over the last few years as they are posted on sites such as ChemRxiv, bioRxiv and Elsevier-owned SSRN. Their use has been a longstanding practice in some fields. In mathematics and physics, for example, almost all scientific papers are self-archived on the arXiv repository before publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
